I used to be bas2456, but for some reason it wouldn't let me post here anymore.

Glad to be back...now I have a question.

In my games yesterday, one of the coaches did something I've never seen before, and would like your interpretation.

In the first half, Team B scores. After inbounding the ball, Coach A calls A1 over to the bench for instruction. A1 never leaves the court while the coach is talking to him. A2, 3, 4, and 5 continue down the court to play offense. Eventually A1 runs back into the play.

Could this be construed as gaining an unfair advantage, or is there nothing against the rules here? The coach is putting his team at a disadvantage by sending 4 players to try to score against 5. Then, when the player comes back into the play, he could sneak right by the defense for a layup.

Opinions?
